the characters are in proportion to their gentle kindness. Was this deliberate? In college I would go on road trips with my friends and I’d draw funny pictures to pass the time in the car. I would always make them really buff. It just made me laugh. I think I learned to sort of lean into it. It definitely is a big part of the comedy. They feel so innocent and naïve, but are huge dudes. Something we really appreciate about the show is that banality is a focal point. There is something beautiful, profound and captivating about its simplicity. The characters don’t have to be special or have super human attributes but rather, they’re simply content with who they are. Can you tell us more about this choice? I think all of my animations celebrate the little things in life. I’ve tried to go fantastical, but I always end up with something grounded. For my money, animating little hand gestures and facial tics is way more enjoyable than animating like … a dude … who like … tears another dude’s … like … fucking arms off or something. People always point out how wholesome all my videos feel. It really is not my intention to be wholesome. Being crass just isn’t my style. Describe the stage of your career at the moment? Haha, oh gosh. I’m very surprised by all of this. It’s been an extremely busy past couple of years on top of having a kid but I’m having the most fun. I’m also writing the show with my brother who lives in London, so it’s been an awesome opportunity to remain close and crack each other up on the daily. Your definition of art.
